Hello James!
>> Pantone colors vs. Video colors
This has always been a tough one. Pantone colors are made for print, video is
totally different.
Also, imagine he has a sphere of "his" color. Where is his color on the
sphere? The ambient area, the diffuse area, or the highlight? Somewhere in
between? How shiny, etc.?
Perception is the most important in something like this. Scan in the Pantone
color (assuming you have a chart) and use a paint program to get the RGB
components of it. Start with that in the Materials Editor, and make an array
of spheres on your screen, each with a slightly different RGB value. Then let
your client decide which one he likes best! Not only is he then responsible
<g>, we have found that the client is often happier at getting more input into
the design process!
